adieu, bon appetite, and welcome to a new three monther.

Today marks three months since the start of this blog!

As the title states, I wanted to try the sugar free life for three months and I've done it. In fact I've cruised it.

The first couple of weeks were insanely hard, the headache almost took over for 24 hours! But my life is immeasurably improved.

In what way?

1. My moods have levelled out, there are few spikes or drops, but when they happen I know it's genuine.
2. I don't know when I'm due to start my period, other than a low feeling of pressure when I do start. There are no tears, no snapping at the family, no cramps nor backache.
3. I have energy to do things, it's a continuous energy that doesn't fluctuate throughout the day. 
4. I no longer feel like I've been filled with a thick liquid that makes moving seem like too much effort.
5. I no longer crave nor want sugar. I often think that I want a slice of cake, but it's not the same. My mind isn't taken over by the need for cake, I don't lose sight of anything else until I've sliced off a wedge and crammed it into my mouth, only to be filled with regret afterwards. I only want cake because, sometimes, I think I'm missing out. Then I just need to remember all the positives I have going for me instead.
6. The most important change is that I often, spontaneously, run around and play tag with my kids. And I've done this before they're too old to play tag. This is the best positive that has come from my experiment. 

Experiment? It now feels far more like a life change than an experiment now.

And as my three months are done it's time to pass it forward. I'm going to pass this blog to a friend of mine who also wants to try this experiment so, for anyone who has read this - thank you, good night and enjoy the lovely writings of a good friend from now on. 

Oh, and good luck on the moonwalk tonight :-)
